Sara was forecast to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain, with up to 30 inches in isolated areas in northern Honduras. In a 7 a.m. Eastern update, the hurricane center said "heavy rain, life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides" were possible through the weekend in Central America.

Sara has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph as of early Friday morning, and further strengthening is possible in the coming days if the storm center largely stays offshore from Hon

With all of those influences affiliated with the Gulf, it does seem rational that Sara (or its remnants) won’t thrive. Regardless, much of its tropical moisture will be steered to towards parts of the Northern or Eastern Gulf Coast ahead of a cold front early next week.
